The really pretty clematis that you see on the mailbox down the street is really pretty for a couple reasons. One is simply time. Plant a clematis and expect to enjoy it as it develops over the years. Some take more time than others to get really pretty. Many clematis will flourish in full sun if you shade the root. Shading the root holds moisture in place and allows the clematis to establish its roots when young. Last but not least, dogs love to pee on them. They create perfect form and are planted on posts, trellises, and etc. This is where dogs love to pee. Clematis, especially young clematis, are very sensitive to salt loads. If your dog, or the neighbors, religiously pees on your clematis she will die. The clematis, not the dog. No wait! I take that back. I know a man who weed wacked his wife's clematis and he nearly died! I'm quite sure if he owned a dog it might not be alive today. If you fertilize, do it once in very early spring as growth begins and a lightly a second time after the first flowering cycle has completed.
